Wow, De Kingfish from Amos N’ Andy!
I remember when the guy who played The Kingfish, Tim Moore, retired, and when asked what he was going to be doing, he replied: “Nothin and I’m going to be doin it slow!”

"The Kingfish, Tim Moore … doin it slow!"

Great line. He was very successful all this life in show business, long before the Amos 'n' Andy TV show, and continued to do well even after the show was canceled.

As an example of SJWs from the 1950s, Moore was to be given his own TV show about "The Kingfish" but after the the show was given the green light, the SJWs at CBS decided "that's racis'" and pulled the plug.

Never mind the fact CBS put a lot of African-American entertainers out of work, especially in the days before cable when there were far fewer broadcast venues. This is a typical example of liberals and the law of unintended consequences.

I remember watching that show when I was a wee lass. Loved it and saw it a few more times before Jesse and the NAACP decided we shouldn’t be allowed to see it anymore.
